Pros

Profitable company with a good business model, international culture, and good location if you like the sun. The facilities a quite good and there is quite a variety of opportunities.

Cons

Very political management top and middle layer, very directive wannabe central policies coupled with face only implementation yield a very frustrating cocktail. Expect hard time if you don't want to put difficult topics under the carpet. Very slow and inconsistent decision taking for everything new.

Pros

You'll never get fired. If you want to earn money without much effort, this is the place. If you speak French, you progress very quickly within Amadeus!

Cons

I dont know where to start! Projects are never completed on time and still no one cares. Management is very incompetent. There is hardly any lateral hiring so you dont find fresh ideas coming into the organisation. Some people have been there since decades and just want to retire there. Not at all ambitious. Absolutely no career progression, the management doesnt even encourage it. There is no transparency, often we get to know things from customers rather than our own management. Office is horribly located and facilities are terrible. If you complain about food or toilet facilities, you are told not to use them! The only way to progress is by speaking French and often thats what they speak during meetings even if not everyone present speaks French. Training catalogue never has any new trainings but just a list of old, overly-repeated ones. Work done in Amadeus has no value outside, it only helps within Amadeus products. During my job interview, I was promised a lot of things and NONE of those were true. Management is highly racist and sexist as well.

Pros

- no strict working hours - enough time for your personal "stuff". ( I had a french kid by my side watching youtube 6 hours per day). - Sophia Antipolis is a very nice place (if you have a car!). - Full of young nice people! - Good payment. - Is the french riviera!!!!! - Good place for having first slots filled on my CV (pls don't stay). - Good people for normal french people who want to live on a nice calm place inside a brain-dead stable job.

Cons

-Terrible commutation, more than 1 hour to get home on public transports. -Managers aren't real managers, and decision making is made by clowns. -Dev infrastructure is the worst kind. 0 Design patterns or architecture. Spaghetti code. No documentation. No functional knowledge. Archaic methodologies and sloooooow procedures. - No real growth in carriers. - They see contractors as objects, not human resources. - Elitism. - The English spoken by several higher ups (taking appart the french accent issue) is kinder-garden level like. - A terrible choice for any transport company. - nice vacations
